Today’s guest post is by Jessica Covington from Magnets from Everywhere. She’s sharing her experience on cycling the Virginia Creeper Trail. I’m excited about this one. Did you know I actually lived in Virginia for a year? Whilst fifteen year old me did occasionally get a bit bored in the rural parts of the state, Continue reading

Island Getaways are one of my favourite way to spend a summer (and to be honest with you, a winter as well…). With all the sailing I’ve been doing lately, I’ve been dreaming of sailing away to a deserted island and leaving all the real world drama behind. I came quite close to doing that Continue reading

It’s been a while since I posted a day report of our Vietnam motorbike adventure, I’ve just been too distracted with life in Barcelona, which has been a whirlwind! Today I’m starting a course to get certified to sail private boats around Spain and to the islands. I’ll be telling you all about it! But Continue reading

As part of my TBEX Philippines fam trip to Bicol, I went on a Mayon volcano tour riding an ATV. Made famous by Zac Efron, these ATV tours take you on a two to three hour trip through the Philippine country side and up to one of the Mayon volcano’s eruption sides. What is an Continue reading

I’m starting a new series of short posts about small adventures around the world. My aim: Encourage all of you to go out and try something new. Today’s little adventure is a sunset and firefly watching cruise. I came across this idea in Sorsogon, a province in Southern Luzon in the Philippines, during my recent Continue reading

This post is part 2 of our Mekong Delta adventure, focusing on Ben Tre. We wanted to see if it’s possible to travel the Mekong Delta without a Tour. Spoiler alert: It is. You can skip the highly organised and touristy Mekong Delta Tours, if traveling independently is your thing. If you missed part 1, Continue reading

Day 2 of our motorbike tour with the Easy Riders Vietnam took us from Lak Lake to Dray Sap Waterfall (Cu Jut village) in the central highlands. After a quick breakfast of eggs and fresh baguette at our Lak Lake Hotel, we started our day with a walk through Jun Village, watching the daily lives Continue reading

After Halong Bay, the Mekong Delta is probably the area in Vietnam with the most guided tours on offer. They’re pushed so heavily, in fact, that you may think it’s impossible to travel the Mekong Delta without a tour. It’s perfectly doable though, and actually quite easy. Here is how we did it: 6 nights Continue reading

This February, we spent a full week on a motorcycle adventure in Vietnam. We hired two guides (through Easy Riders Vietnam, based in Dalat) and set off to explore the Vietnamese Highlands and the coast from Hoi An to Hué together. We came back with over a thousand photos, which is why it’s taken us Continue reading

Despite all the horror stories of backpackers partying non stop and indulging in drunk river tubing, Vang Vieng is actually a really pretty place. And I’m not talking about the downtown party streets – they truly are lined with cheap bars showing reruns of Friends all day long. But the area surrounding Vang Vieng – Continue reading
